IBPS Clerk Vacancy 2026 Important Dates

IBPS Clerk 2026 recruitment under CRP CSA-XVI was notified in July 2026. The registration process was later extended to August 28, while the Prelims and Mains exams are scheduled for October and December, respectively.

IBPS Clerk Vacancy 2026 Bank-wise

IBPS Clerk Vacancy 2026 is distributed among 11 participating public sector banks. In the September 29, 2026 update, Bank of Baroda was the only bank whose reported vacancy figure changed. Its vacancies increased by 260, from 1,200 to 1,460. Union Bank of India continues to show NR, meaning the bank had not reported a vacancy figure in the updated Annexure I.

Canara Bank has 2,500 reported vacancies, followed by Punjab National Bank with 2,016 and Indian Bank with 1,700. These figures are based on the updated Annexure I dated September 29, 2026.

What Changed in IBPS Clerk Bank-wise Vacancy 2026?

For IBPS Clerk Vacancy 2026 the September 29 corrigendum did not revise the vacancies of all participating banks. The change was limited to Bank of Baroda, which added 260 vacancies to its earlier figure of 1,200. As a result, the sum of the reported vacancies increased from 11,403 to 11,663.

Note: The updated vacancy figure does not mean that 260 candidates will necessarily be added to every State/UT. The additional Bank of Baroda vacancies are reflected in the State/UT-wise and category-wise distribution in the updated Annexure I.

IBPS Clerk Vacancy 2026 State-wise and Category-wise

IBPS Clerk Vacancy 2026 is allocated State/UT-wise and category-wise under SC, ST, OBC (NCL), EWS and UR categories. The revised distribution gives candidates a clearer view of the vacancies available for their selected State/UT and category.

The revised category-wise figures total 1,936 SC, 962 ST, 2,863 OBC (NCL), 1,024 EWS and 4,878 UR vacancies. The category figures are included within the State/UT-wise vacancy distribution and should not be added again to the State totals.

IBPS Clerk Vacancy 2026 State-wise Details

IBPS Clerk Vacancy 2026 varies across States and UTs because vacancies are reported separately according to the requirements of participating banks. Uttar Pradesh has the highest number of revised vacancies at 1,752, followed by Karnataka with 1,458 and Maharashtra with 1,062.

The latest update also shows that the 260 additional vacancies are not distributed uniformly across States. The increase is reflected only where Bank of Baroda has reported additional requirements. Therefore, candidates should refer to the revised State/UT-wise table rather than applying the 260-post increase equally across all regions.

IBPS Clerk Vacancy 2026 Category-wise

IBPS Clerk Vacancy 2026 includes reserved and unreserved vacancies under five main categories. The revised category-wise distribution is given below.

The category-wise vacancy figures are indicative and are part of the overall State/UT-wise distribution. Candidates claiming reservation must fulfil the category-specific eligibility and certificate requirements prescribed in the CRP CSA-XVI notification.

IBPS Clerk Vacancy 2026: Can Vacancies Increase Further?

IBPS Clerk vacancies can be revised because the numbers published in the notification are indicative. The participating banks can report additional requirements or changes in their vacancies, after which IBPS may issue an updated vacancy list. This has also happened in the previous IBPS Clerk cycle. In CRP CSA-XV, the vacancy count changed through subsequent corrigenda, showing that the initial vacancy figure should not always be treated as the final number available at provisional allotment. For CRP CSA-XVI, the September 29 update is the latest vacancy revision and has already increased the reported total by 260 posts.

Candidates should therefore use 11,663 as the latest reported vacancy figure while referring to the updated Annexure I for State/UT and category-specific details. The final allotment will depend on the actual vacancies reported by participating banks.
